How do I change a corrupt Microsoft Office Icon?

When I run Disk Warrior I get this report:
Folder: "Microsoft Office X"
Detected that the Custom Icon is damaged and cannot be repaired
Location: "MM/lost+found/2816834/Retrieved Microsoft Word/HD Backup/Applications/"
I found the hidden file, but the msg says it is no longer available.
I can't open Microsoft Word unless I hold the shift key down...don't know how that opens it, but it does. I also have frequent "unexpectedly quitting" applications. I suspect these problems are associated to the corrupt icon.
I checked the discussions and can't find an answer.
I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks....MuffinM

How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?

How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?

You cannot. Microsoft has not made a version of Office for iOS. There are however a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go, Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft Office is not available in the App Store. Instead, you can purchase it in the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Note that there are other apps that do the same, like Apple iWork (available in the Mac App Store) or LibreOffice, open-source and free. I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try.
If you are interested in Office for Windows, you can find it in the Microsoft Store or at shops

Contact Microsoft support and ask for help. You've paid for the kit, so installation-time support is part of the expectations. They'll probably suggest a Repair Permissions and a Verify Disk pass, both performed by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu item, and selecting those two repairs.

How do I change the font of desktop icons?

How do I change the font of desktop icons?

OS X only permits changing the font size but not the font itself. There are third-party interface modifiers that may enable you to make more extensive changes, but since the basic system fonts are embedded they are not easily changed. The freeware tool, TinkerTool, can be used to make some font changes, but icon fonts. Look for it and other software at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How can I change the Jframe Java help Icon

How can I change then Jframe Java help Icon?.
I am using then HelpSet class and HelpBroker.
I want to change the java help icon
Any Idea? thanks. ...

It can be done, but it's ugly...
Add in a listener to your topmost JFrame to sense when the focus is lost, since this happens when a help window comes up. When the focus leaves the main window, check all the windows that are up to see if one is a help window. If so, this will give you a reference to the help window and you can drill down to change what you want.
Here's an example that changes the icon and removes the borders from the javahelp buttons.
WindowListener wndCloser = new WindowAdapter() {
          //A necessarily roundabout method to affect
          //look and feel aspects of the javahelp viewer.
          //(there is no way to get at these components directly.)
          //When the main frame loses focus, it may be because
          //the help viewer was brought up. Look through all
          //the current frames to see if one is a help viewer.
          //If it is, change the look of the help viewer
          //to what we want.
          Frame m_helpFrame = null;
          public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
          if (m_helpFrame != null)
               return;
          Frame[] frames = getFrames();
          for (int k = 0; k < frames.length; k++) {
               if (!(frames[k] instanceof JFrame))
               continue;
               JFrame jf = (JFrame)frames[k];
               if (jf.getContentPane().getComponentCount()==0)
               continue;
               Component c = jf.getContentPane().
               getComponent(0);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JHelp))
               continue;
               m_helpFrame = jf;
               //now that we know the Frame, we can change the title icon
               final Image image2 = <your icon here>
               m_helpFrame.setIconImage(image2);
               JHelp jh = (JHelp)c;
               for (int s=0; s<jh.getComponentCount(); s++) {
               c = jh.getComponent(s);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JToolBar))
                    continue;
               JToolBar jtb = (JToolBar)c;
               //now that we've accessed the toolbar, we can
               //modify the look of the buttons.
               for(int i=0; i<jtb.getComponentCount(); i++) {
                    Component comp = jtb.getComponentAtIndex(i);
                    if(comp instanceof JButton) {
                    JButton button = (JButton)comp;
                    button.setBorder(null);

Wierd - some of my 'other' preferences have 'Microsoft Office' icons.

Has anyone else noticed this ....?
My last G5 iMac running X.4 had the same issue running Tiger - and my new Intel iMac is doing the same thing ... I suspect it's an MS Office 2004 issue ... but it's bewildering me - and would love to find out if there is a fix or an explantion available ...
Several (actually, quite a few) of my user>library>preferences have defaulted to Microsoft Office icons (some are Entourage and some Powerpoint etc) ... including Adobe, Roxio Toast 7, DivX Decoder 6, CDDB etc ...

KB articles are frequently out-of-date or contain statements that imply the advice works for later versions, when in fact it does not. You'll note that article was last updated in December 2003, roughly 1.5 years before Tiger was released.
Only a thorough understanding of each version of Mac OS X can help you from making such mistakes and ascertaining when an old KB article applies to the current version of Mac OS X.

How do i download emails to microsoft office

when downloading a document from my email Firefox gives me limited choices, I would like the documents to be opened up by my Microsoft office, how do i adjust that setting.

My icons all changed from the program icon to one Microsoft Office icon

I was reviewing emails and was reading one....I have no idea what I did, but all the desktop icons for my various programs were all changed to one icon....which is an icon for Microsoft Office 2010. I have tried to figure out what I need to do to reset them to what they were originally. Does anyone know how to do this? Can the explaination be in user friendly terminology, please.

1. Open Windows Explorer (any folder/drive).
2. As the IconCache is a hidden file, you need to enable “Show hidden files” option to see the same. To do this, head over to Tools > Folder Options, switch to View tab, and finally enable Show Hidden files, folders, and drives option.
3. Now navigate to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local folder and then delete IconCache.db file. Here username is your user profile name.
4. Reboot your computer to rebuild the icon cache.
5. All icons should be displayed correct now.
Alternately, you can download a tool from the following weblink that will do this for you:
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/141/0/e/Rebuild_Icon_Cache_v0_7b_by_screeny05.rar
The tool has three options, one to rebuild the icon cache, another one to restore the original icon cache file and third option to delete the back up file of icon cache. When you rebuild the cache, it takes a back up of existing IconCache.db.

Can't change language on Microsoft office 2011

I live in Britain, I have Microsoft office 2011 and use it a lot. For some reason I can not permanently change my language to British English as it keeps defaulting back to US english whenever I open word, or powerpoint. Can someone tell me why this happens and how to fix it?

If you are talking about spellcheck, you might want to search/ask in the forums run by the maker of that stuff, which has its own settings unrelated to Apple's:

How to help my friend install Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

Hello, I have a friend in North Carolina whose mom recently got a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountian Lion (10.8), he will be coming on to join this discussion after I post it. He needs Microsoft Office for his mom and I just happened to have purchase 3 licenses (two of which I have already utilized). While talking to him over a Facetime call, I walked him through the steps of getting the free office for mac 2008 package from download.com (which seemed kind of sketchy). While the download actually looked legitimate, we ran the installer and it gave some kind of weird error message that said something like "Could not be installed onto Macintosh HD because the Mac OS X is not on that parition" (I'm paraphrasing my friend will contribute the actual message). Could someone please walk us through an easier (and preferably more secure) process? We just need to get to the point where I can give him my last license key. Thanks!
YraYra

You will have to check with Microsoft but I think what you are doing is illegal. The 3 license pack I think means 1 user 3 computers, not 2 users 3 computers.
You might have better luck posting on the Office for Mac forum. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1
